    Hey guys! I wanted to introduce myself. My name Chad. I purchased my 2000 Taco in 2020 and have really enjoyed the platform. It has the basic maintenance mods as well as expedition leafs 3" inch lift and some custom metal work from scraps that I.have been able to find. Pretty clean overall with some typical wear and tear for a truck that is just under 270k

    Now it’s time for a timing belt / water pump service. Also might be time to replace the belts and hoses.

    Especially if you’re taking it off road. Add lower ball joints to the list.
